Re: arcmain COPY DATA from S3 bucket to Teradata AMI on AWS

Is it possible? Yes if you have the arcmain software installed on your 'cloud' system. If that is the case then your 'filedef' needs to provide a full path to the 'dump.nn.out' file.

In general when running a program against Teradata, think in terms of "client" and "server".

The program (Arc) runs on a "client" system and accesses your Teradata system - which is the "server".

On the client you need the program software installed.

To direct the job to the correct "server" system your logon statement needs to identify the server, usually with a dns name or an IP address.

On your 'on premise' system does the client where you ran the archive from have access to the internet? Can it connect to your Teradata on AWS system? If so then I'd run arcmain from your on premise client directly into the Teradata on AWS system. No need to 'load the dump file to an S3 bucket'.
